    That article is about the benefits of user-replaceable batteries. Feel free to write an article about the benefits of non-user-replaceable batteries. Also mentioned in that article.

    Reverse wireless charging (also known as PowerShare) can be useful in emergency situations, but it has this problem. I suggest you to save it up for emergency situations. Just bring a power bank.

    I see. Thanks for the quick reply! I will add your point to the article.

    If one holds the phone vertically, isn't the scanner below the camera?

    Every file manager I tested changed so far overwrites the date and time of the files with the current date and time when moving. Many files have no date and time information in the file name. Yes, one can also create file lists using ls or stat in an Android terminal. But I would also like to keep the original attribute date and times to make data management less inconvenient and be...

    Sorry for late response, I just revisited the forum. What about HTC One M7 and Sony Xperia Z? (both with nonreplaceable batteries)

    Coincidentally, the "bloated", "cheap plastic" Galaxy S4 happens to be the most sold Android phone of all time, with over 80 million units. Also, the group of people who neither cares about fashion statement (status symbol) nor newest specifications should not require a new device very soon. But yes, it is sad how in the past manufacturers betrayed power users repeatedly. ...

    I smell planned obsolescence. If any phone manufacturer came up with a replaceable battery today, the OG Samsung and LG crowd would come en masse.

    Indeed. Which is why there should be an option for a decent phone with replaceable battery. And no, the Xcover Pro is not decent by 2020 standards because its camera can only record at 1080p@30fps at best. Something the S2 from 2011 can too.

    If you would use your phone longer or heavier (e.g. 8K video on the newest phones), that would quickly wreck the battery. Also, 45W fast charging puts enormous stress on it.

    Although somewhat belated, relevant nevertheless: Here is an article that compiles all the benefits of user-replaceable batteries into one place. If you need to convince anyone about the benefits of user-replaceable mobile phone batteries, simply refer them to that article. You're welcome.

    Interesting essay:https://www.androidpolice.com/2016/08/02/the-galaxy-note-is-no-longer-samsungs-enthusiast-smartphone-series-opinion/ That's called planned obsolescence. So maybe, Samsung already knew in 2014 that the S6 will not have MicroSD and water resistance, but the S7 will.

    Now, there is fast charging. But fast charging is only good as long as the battery works well, and it wears down the battery quickly.

    For how long? And which device? I have indeed noticed this phenomenon on phones in tech shops (these live demo units run at full brightness all the time by default), but it is not noticeable yet on the older AMOLED devices we have at home. But the Galaxy S4 has a slight orange screen tone, which is a sign of weakened blue AMOLED pixels. But the S4 (built in 2013 or 2014) is a...
